I spend most of my shift standing and wanted something less bulky. These feel comfortable and look much more like everyday trainers.

Every Hector and Leopold boot is listed in both US and EU sizes and fits true to size, with room in the toe box so your toes never press against the safety cap.
Not sure? Measure your foot from heel to longest toe at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest, and compare it with the size chart in the description below.
If you are between two sizes, or you wear thick work socks or an orthopedic insole, go half a size up.

Knock off mud and dust after each shift and wipe the upper with a damp cloth. If your boots get soaked, take out the insoles and let everything dry naturally at room temperature, never next to a heater or in direct sun.
Air them out overnight between shifts to keep them fresh. On leather models, a coat of leather conditioner or waterproofing spray every few months keeps the upper supple and protected.
Every pair is checked, laced and packed by hand and ships within 1 to 3 business days. As soon as your order leaves, you receive an email with a tracking link so you can follow it to your door.
Wrong size or not happy for any reason? Returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Write to us through our contact page and we will guide you personally through every step.
